'''Crafting''' is the method by which many [[blocks]], [[tools]], and other resources are made in Minecraft. It is a function only available in [[Beta]] mode, as well as the removed [[Indev]] and [[Infdev]] modes. In order to craft something, the player must move items from their [[inventory]] into the crafting grid, then arrange them into the pattern representing the item(s) they wish to create. As long as the proper pattern of resources is placed, it will not matter where within the grid the ingredients are placed. Crafting recipes can also be flipped horizontally from their depictions in the graphs below: for instance, you can make a bow with the strings on the right instead of the left.
 
   
  +
'''NPC Villages''' are groups of buildings inhabited by non-player characters (NPCs)--[[Villager]] [[mobs]] that [[spawn]] randomly. How much space the villages take up is randomized just like the terrain is.
The player has access to a 2×2 crafting grid in their [[Inventory]] screen which can be used at any time. Crafting recipes that are at most 2×2 materials wide and tall can be crafted there, like [[Wood|wood planks]], [[#Stick|sticks]] and [[Workbench|workbenches]]. To craft with a 3×3 grid, create a [[Workbench]], place it on the ground, and right-click on it. This brings up a pop-up screen which allows the player to assemble any crafting recipe in the game, as the maximum size for a recipe is 3×3.

== Structure ==
  +
Some of the buildings and structures found within villages are:
   
  +
*Small Huts made of [[Wood|logs]], [[Fence|fence posts]], [[Wooden Plank|wooden planks]], [[cobblestone]], with [[Glass Pane|glass panes]] for windows. Some also have roof balconies.
Certain crafted items, such as tools and armor, as well as certain other usable items are subject to [[Item Durability|item durability]], a process whereby repeated use of the tool will deplete its number of available uses.
 
  +
*Homes, which are composed of the same materials listed above. However, they are larger in size and are L-shaped; houses are often mistaken as T-shaped from the top, but on the ground or inside, are noticeably L-shaped
  +
*Taverns, which have wooden [[stairs]] as benches, [[pressure plate]]/[[fence]] tables and a double slab counter. They also have fenced-off backyards.
  +
*Libraries with [[Bookshelf|bookshelves]] and a [[crafting table]].
  +
*Wheat Farms, which are, of course, farms of [[wheat]] surrounded by logs.
  +
*Wells, which are 2x10x2 pools filled with [[water]] surrounded by [[cobblestone]] and [[fence]]s.
  +
*Forges made out of cobblestone, [[iron bars]], [[furnace]]s and small pools of [[lava]]. They also have a room located at the back.
  +
*Churches, cobblestone buildings with a small 3 floor tower equipped with [[ladder]]s.
  +
*Lamp Posts, made of stacked fences, black [[wool]] and [[torch]]es.
  +
*Gravel Roads, which connect most of the buildings.
   
  +
The number of buildings within villages vary, and not all types will be in every village. There is always one well, there may be one church and/or one smithy, up to two libraries, up to two taverns and up to three large homes.{{citation needed}}
== Complete Recipe List ==
 
   
  +
They can be VERY large, or a small building. Example: A simple house with a medium sized garden and well.
Currently, there are 113 recipes; this includes each recipe in the animations below and the two methods of making [[Mushroom Soup]]. Chainmail armor is also included in this count.

=== [[Tool]] Recipes ===
+
== History ==
  +
[[Notch]] originally worked on NPC Villages by himself, but eventually gave the task to [[Jeb]], so that he could work on other things.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/statuses/101212681234681858</ref>
  +
Jeb has said that, during early tests of villages, the [[lava]] in a smithy often set the village on [[fire]].<ref>http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/101675386190045184</ref>
   
  +
=== PAX ===
{{Template:Tool Crafting}}
 
  +
NPC Villages were shown to the public during the PAX demo. For demo purposes, Notch made them appear near the [[spawn]] so people could see them.<ref>http://www.twitch.tv/realnotch/b/293537610</ref><sub>(at 3:37)</sub> On a live stream from his Android phone during PAX, Notch stated that NPCs have not been added to the villages but that they are coming eventually. (According to [[Jeb]], NPCs for the village was delayed until Beta 1.9.<ref>http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/109652524839079937</ref>) The majority of the NPC structures are made from wood based resources, with frames of cobblestone, and the footpaths are 3 blocks wide and made of gravel. The gravel appears to replace the top layer of dirt upon generation of the village.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X33dxpD4kk0&t=04m35s</ref>
   
=== [[Weapon]] Recipes ===
+
=== Old Interview of Notch ===
  +
[[Notch]] once answered some questions about an idea he had, NPC Villages, where he revealed some thoughts about them:{{cn}}
  +
* If you treat The villagers well (giving them items), they'll give you items back.
  +
* If you treat The villagers badly (attacking/killing them), they'll try to do the same to you.
  +
* There would possibly be a [[chest]], containing special items, but raiding it will anger the owners of the town/chest and they will attack.

=== [[Armor]] Recipes ===
+
== Trivia ==
  +
* NPC villages are optional as part of the setting for [[generated structures]].
{{Armor Crafting}}
 
  +
* It is possible for [[Mushrooms]] to spawn inside the buildings.
  +
* If an NPC village is in the desert, there is a small chance there will be a [[Cactus]] on the paths, and that they will have [[gravel]] on top of them.
  +
* Unlike in the above case, if gravel goes through a [[Grass|tall grass]] area, tall grass will be removed and it may drop [[seeds]].
  +
* Farms in the villages avoid overhanging by filling in the area below them with dirt. When the farm overhangs a [[ravine]], this can cause a very tall rectangular dirt structure that at first glance almost looks like a chunk error.
  +
* A good strategy for your first night would be to use an NPC house as shelter to keep safe from hostile [[Mobs]].
  +
* Occasionally, surface ravines will be generated through NPC villages, causing missing pathways or even entire buildings sunken into the ravine. This also applies to cave entrances and other surface oddities.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOOLYN1StgA</ref>
  +
* Originally, NPC Villages were intended to be populated with [[Pigmen]].<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/62531431175421952</ref>
  +
* In early screenshots, villages were partly made of [[Moss Stone]].
  +
* It is possible to spawn directly inside an NPC Village building.
  +
* On some occasions, it is possible for some of the gravel roads to lead out of the village to nowhere.
  +
* It is possible for village buildings as well as farms to be cut off seemingly randomly, as result of chunk errors, making building partially spawned.
  +
* On the seed 'gimmeabreak',the player would spawn in an NPC Village.
  +
* The wells in NPC villages do not work as infinite water sources.
  +
* Occasionally, you can find a hole under a house going down very far. Sometimes it may go to the void.
   
  +
==History==
=== [[Transportation]] Recipes ===

NPC villages were added in [[Version history#B1.8|Beta 1.8]]. In Beta 1.9 Pre-release, [[Villager]] mobs were added to spawn in NPC Villages, although they currently do nothing notable.

NPC Villages are only spawned in desert or grassland biomes. Eventually they will have their own biome in order to solve many of the problems that were hindering their development.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/statuses/101219771936276480</ref>

An Image of the NPC Village.

NPC Villages are groups of buildings inhabited by non-player characters (NPCs)--Villager mobs that spawn randomly. How much space the villages take up is randomized just like the terrain is.

Structure

Some of the buildings and structures found within villages are:

  • Small Huts made of logs, fence posts, wooden planks, cobblestone, with glass panes for windows. Some also have roof balconies.
  • Homes, which are composed of the same materials listed above. However, they are larger in size and are L-shaped; houses are often mistaken as T-shaped from the top, but on the ground or inside, are noticeably L-shaped
  • Taverns, which have wooden stairs as benches, pressure plate/fence tables and a double slab counter. They also have fenced-off backyards.
  • Libraries with bookshelves and a crafting table.
  • Wheat Farms, which are, of course, farms of wheat surrounded by logs.
  • Wells, which are 2x10x2 pools filled with water surrounded by cobblestone and fences.
  • Forges made out of cobblestone, iron bars, furnaces and small pools of lava. They also have a room located at the back.
  • Churches, cobblestone buildings with a small 3 floor tower equipped with ladders.
  • Lamp Posts, made of stacked fences, black wool and torches.
  • Gravel Roads, which connect most of the buildings.

The number of buildings within villages vary, and not all types will be in every village. There is always one well, there may be one church and/or one smithy, up to two libraries, up to two taverns and up to three large homes.[citation needed]

They can be VERY large, or a small building. Example: A simple house with a medium sized garden and well.

History

Notch originally worked on NPC Villages by himself, but eventually gave the task to Jeb, so that he could work on other things.[1] Jeb has said that, during early tests of villages, the lava in a smithy often set the village on fire.[2]

PAX

NPC Villages were shown to the public during the PAX demo. For demo purposes, Notch made them appear near the spawn so people could see them.[3](at 3:37) On a live stream from his Android phone during PAX, Notch stated that NPCs have not been added to the villages but that they are coming eventually. (According to Jeb, NPCs for the village was delayed until Beta 1.9.[4]) The majority of the NPC structures are made from wood based resources, with frames of cobblestone, and the footpaths are 3 blocks wide and made of gravel. The gravel appears to replace the top layer of dirt upon generation of the village.[5]

Old Interview of Notch

Notch once answered some questions about an idea he had, NPC Villages, where he revealed some thoughts about them:[citation needed]

  • If you treat The villagers well (giving them items), they'll give you items back.
  • If you treat The villagers badly (attacking/killing them), they'll try to do the same to you.
  • There would possibly be a chest, containing special items, but raiding it will anger the owners of the town/chest and they will attack.

Trivia

  • NPC villages are optional as part of the setting for generated structures.
  • It is possible for Mushrooms to spawn inside the buildings.
  • If an NPC village is in the desert, there is a small chance there will be a Cactus on the paths, and that they will have gravel on top of them.
  • Unlike in the above case, if gravel goes through a tall grass area, tall grass will be removed and it may drop seeds.
  • Farms in the villages avoid overhanging by filling in the area below them with dirt. When the farm overhangs a ravine, this can cause a very tall rectangular dirt structure that at first glance almost looks like a chunk error.
  • A good strategy for your first night would be to use an NPC house as shelter to keep safe from hostile Mobs.
  • Occasionally, surface ravines will be generated through NPC villages, causing missing pathways or even entire buildings sunken into the ravine. This also applies to cave entrances and other surface oddities.[6]
  • Originally, NPC Villages were intended to be populated with Pigmen.[7]
  • In early screenshots, villages were partly made of Moss Stone.
  • It is possible to spawn directly inside an NPC Village building.
  • On some occasions, it is possible for some of the gravel roads to lead out of the village to nowhere.
  • It is possible for village buildings as well as farms to be cut off seemingly randomly, as result of chunk errors, making building partially spawned.
  • On the seed 'gimmeabreak',the player would spawn in an NPC Village.
  • The wells in NPC villages do not work as infinite water sources.
  • Occasionally, you can find a hole under a house going down very far. Sometimes it may go to the void.

History

NPC villages were added in Beta 1.8. In Beta 1.9 Pre-release, Villager mobs were added to spawn in NPC Villages, although they currently do nothing notable.

A picture of NPC villages was released by Notch before 1.8 was released.[8][9] Even though the picture only showed the exterior of the buildings, videos recorded later during PAX revealed the interior of the structures. NPC Villages are only spawned in desert or grassland biomes. Eventually they will have their own biome in order to solve many of the problems that were hindering their development.[10]
